Give as good as you get

Mercury forms its third and final square to Saturn on March 10. It's been an exasperating six weeks as you've gone back and forth with a client or buyer in an effort to find the right fit. Maybe your price was too high, his terms were too fixed or you realized as you got into the negotiation that this was turning into a battle of wits. Well, you're in too deep to back out now, so finalize details, sign the papers and be done with it. You both gave as good as you got, which is what planetary squares are all about. It may not feel like it, but you're actually both walking away with something to feel good about. This will become clear on March 26.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 - Jan. 18)

This is not the time to be penny-wise and pound-foolish. You won't like spending so much money right before tax time, but certain expenses can't be put off any longer. You really have to bring things up to speed in order to stay competitive, and given that the square involves Mercury (the planet of technology and marketing), you're probably looking at purchasing a new computer, updating your website or purchasing mailing lists. Bite the bullet and pay top dollar to get things done right. You will make back your investment by May 24.
